HARRODSBURG, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 13, 2018--Kentucky Owl ®, "The Wise Man's Bourbon," today announced the release of Kentucky Owl 11-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Batch #2. After a successful release of Kentucky Owl Rye Batch #1, which achieved a 95-point score from Whisky Advocate, Master Blender, Dixon Dedman, has handcrafted a second offering of rye whiskey that will continue to strengthen Kentucky Owl’s high-quality credentials and brand footprint within the bourbon and rye whiskey categories. Similar to the first batch of rye, Batch #2 will have a limited quantity release in select U.S. markets due to high demand.

“We crafted this straight rye whiskey to be more approachable to the casual drinker while containing all the good parts of whiskey without any of the bad. It’s like you melted a cinnamon roll and gave it a little kick at the end to remind you it was whiskey,” said Dixon Dedman, Kentucky Owl Master Blender. “I was so proud of the product we put out with Rye Batch #1 last year, and what we were able to do with Batch #2, I think is really something special.”

Kentucky Owl Bourbon was founded in 1879 by C.M. Dedman and today is led by Master Blender, Dixon Dedman, who resurrected the brand and released his first batch in 2014, nearly 100 years after prohibition ended his great-great-grandfather's original endeavor. It is an artfully blended line of craft bourbons each bottled at barrel proof for the truest expression of whiskey, and now, a rye whiskey with the same craft approach in mind. Kentucky Owl is for those who appreciate high quality, attention to detail, craftsmanship, and authentic heritage. Most recently, Kentucky Owl Rye Batch #1 was rated 95 points by Whisky Advocate and crowned the Top Whisky in their Summer 2018 Buying Guide.
